from Google & Yelp"Set into the Bridgeport arts center, this café has plenty of space along with direct access insides the building to all of the art galleries and the museum. Took a second to find the entrance that's tucked into the loading dock. But once you're in service is pretty quick and there's plenty of seating. Both the food and coffee we got was pretty good and because this is in the arts center that's a ton of parking as well."
"The atmosphere is great, and everything is made to order. The only downside is that they don't have beef. But thankfully, there are other options. The view from the window is my favorite part—it's beautiful. The location is easy to find, and parking is very convenient. If the restaurant is full, you might have to wait a while for a spot. There's water available at the entrance. There aren't many surprises, but it's suitable for those who work nearby and want to grab a bite to eat."
"Walked in and fell in love with the space! Such an amazing vibe and great staff to take care of you. The coffee was great, egg and cheese bagel fantastic but skip the turkey, egg and cheese - that was a bit of a fail."
"One thing you recognize immediately about this place is that it seems to have that “community” vibe. Many ethnicities showed up at this Bridgeport establishment, in an artsy “museum” style campus. The breakfast bagel sandwich was very good. It is worth the try but I feel there are some other places that make a better overall breakfast sandwich. The bacon was more like crumbles and was bit chewy. The egg was just over medium but the eveything bagel lacked the saltiness and snap from other everything bagels I have had. For the price, its worth it. Also, the ambiance is worth a visit. Friendly staff, service was a bit slow today as the line backed up towards the entrance. But that was due to a fairly large catering order being prepared. If I lived in the area, I would definitely try the other sandwiches on the menu in a subsequent visit."
"Chef James and the Owner Paul offer 5 start service. I love the immediate welcoming energy to patrons they showed along with the kindness of the staff. Musical selection is 👌 and the cold brew mocha with oat milk is a winning selection. I had the grilled cheese with ham off the bone and while the flavor was solid, the texture of the freshly made sandwich was surprisingly a bit chewy. I suspect that the parchment paper used to wrap the sandwich was the culprit. Otherwise, really good. Atmosphere is uplifted by the incredible artwork lined on the walls. I hung around to knock out a ton of work and stumbled upon great conversation and networking opportunity. Definitely will return in the near future."
"Welp, now that I came here to write this review, I'm not shocked nor surprised to see most of the poor reviews are either about the owner, Paul, or the..."
